It was a beautiful day for GCO's last meet of the year. We had a great turnout, and thanks to the hard work of all of the volunteers, everyone seemed to have fun and enjoy the fantastic area. Dan Rathbun set some very good courses, including a rarely used Blue course (first-ever for GCO?). We had a couple of new members join us, and our club continues to expand. On-line registration was used for the first time, and it was a resounding success. We are looking forward to a wonderful 2014!

The team of Abdullah Mohammed, Marcos, and Daniella Ortega had the fastest time on the White course, doing it in 31:06. The fastest time on the Yellow course was turned in by the Rio Linda High School JROTC team of Salvador Sanchez, David Longo and Jeramiah Chadwick, with a time of 37:29. Gary Kraght of BAOC smoked the competition on the Orange course, with a time of 47:14. Marie-Joseé Parayre, also of BAOC, was the fastest on the Brown course, with a time of 73:28. Six people attempted the very difficult Blue course, with GCO's own Mats Jansson coming in first with a time of 81:20.

There were a total of 195 participants, with 51 doing White, 73 doing Yellow, 42 doing Orange, 23 doing Brown, and 6 doing Blue. Congratulations to each and every one! We'll see you next year.
